In the era of accelerated digitalization, companies are constantly seeking ways to enhance collaboration and efficiency among their teams. In this scenario, technologies act as a driver, offering innovative tools that empower professionals to work in a more integrated and productive way
A survey conducted by Deloitte revealed that 74% of respondents believe that technology significantly improves synergy among collaborators. Tools like video conferences, instant messaging apps and project management software are identified as essential for breaking physical and geographical barriers. Now, teams distributed globally can contribute in real time, share ideas and make decisions quickly, regardless of physical distance
Furthermore, solutions are facilitating the organization and management of complex projects. With the use of task and project management software, the teams can view the progress of the work, assign responsibilities and monitor deadlines more efficiently. This not only increases transparency within the team, but it also helps to identify and resolve potential bottlenecks before they become bigger problems
Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are also playing a key role in building more efficient teams. For example, chatbots and virtual assistants can assist employees in performing routine tasks, freeing up time for more strategic and creative activities. Furthermore, AI algorithms can analyze large volumes of data to provide valuable insights into team performance and identify areas for improvement
It is worth noting that technologies are just tools; the true differential lies in the way they are used by the teams. Therefore, in addition to investing in technological solutions, companies should also prioritize the development of interpersonal skills and promote a culture of collaboration and trust among team members, says Ricardo Nóbrega, partner and Revenue director of theIT Intelligence.
A practical example is the SAP SuccessFactors tool, that integrates technology and organizational culture to promote continuous collaboration. The solution allows leaders to assign projects and activities to employees, who can then comment and contribute to these tasks – providing an environment for the exchange of ideas and information. "It is worth noting", that without a culture that values collaboration and the active participation of all team members, the adoption of the system may be compromised and result in low engagement,Nóbrega points.Invest in developing a collaborative culture, where open communication, teamwork and knowledge sharing are valued, is the true secret to building more efficient and collaborative teams
